The Amazing Bloggosphere

It's 11pm. The wife and kids are asleep and I find myself restless, so here I sit reading through bloglines. I'm scrolling through Jay Cross's blogs and I see a great snippet he has from Tom Haskins blog. I love the clip but don't bother to click through. I then hit his InternetTime blog and read My father died this morning.

stopping the world />In our hurried lives, blogging and saving the world through improving education, it's sometimes difficult to stop and reflect on life...let alone blog about those personal events. A more touching 4 picture tribute I've never seen.

I've been reading Jay and hearing him speak at conferences for several years. I have never talked with him until last week but felt like I was talking to an old friend. I believe strong emotional, human, connections CAN be made via technology and through the amazing bloggosphere. In all that we do, remember this one thing...ITS ABOUT THE PEOPLE! NOT THE TECHNOLOGY!
